I'm totally there. It's like, look man, if you need to put special tools out on the table, just so we can eat this shit...
No local Dungeness Crab due to blue green algae.

Dude, you sit there with hammers picks and crackers to crush limbs and eat the flesh of undersea creatures with multiple limbs.
That's fucking metal
Plus they really do taste awesome

The labor to meat ratio is unsatisfying for me. If I am going to dive in and savage some shit, I would rather tackle a whole rack of pork ribs with my hands, you know?

Crab or lobster bisque /chowder.

Its just a quirky little thing, but what's annoying about all that trouble, is you always feel like you missed some with crab legs and such. Yer sitting there sucking on some little piece of carapace trying to get your money's worth... Then there's the gooey guts in the middle and all.... it's a dissatisfying experience unless you really love the flavor I guess....

A little trick with lobster to get the meat out of those tiny little legs is the crack them into sections then go over them with a rolling pin.
The meat squirts out like a little lobster noodle

Rolls with it...
Same with crayfish; lotsa work, so little reward...
When it comes to food, you are THE man! I've seen your dishes in food pron threads. Looks soooo good. Serious question... are you chef by trade, or just a damned good hobbyist?

Dad was a chef so I've always been in kitchens.
worked in fine dining from age 14 to 23 and probably would have kept it up had I not gotten smooshed

Ditto. Crabs, Lobsters, Crayfish: garbage eaters of the deep.
We have a lot of crayfish up here and while the beer and social aspect are great fun, the end result should be spectacular for all the work. And it just isn't.
Now shellfish (wth why called a fish if you don't have fins?), I agree. BBQ'd Oysters at my dad's place in Coos Bay - the bomb. Scallops, oh yea.
Best I've had was in Valparaiso Chile: mussel the size of your fist. Had to use a knive and fork.
I ribbed you in the Mac n Cheese thread, but truth is... even your Mac n Cheese recipe looked damned good... and ya know how I feel about that. :laughing
Sorry you got smooshed, but it doesn't seem to have held you back. :thumbup

Dude, Barf is for ribbing. No worries.
Alrighty then. Now get your ass back in the kitchen and make me a crab sammich. :laughing

Scallops and Abalone are fantastic when prepared well. Love those sea mollusks.
